John, I got an error is no description!
Vandys lines work here too. But I think, this isn’t really flexible and it is always a good idea to avoid the select-function.
I would do it in this way. The script assumes, that either the insertionPoint is in a cell, one or more cells are selected or the whole table.
var myTable = getTable();
formatTable( myTable );
// check selection
function getTable() {
if( app.selection.length > 0 ) { mySel = app.selection[0]; if( mySel.parent.constructor.name == 'Table' ) return mySel.parent; else if( mySel.parent.parent.constructor.name == 'Table' ) return mySel.parent.parent; else if ( mySel.constructor.name == 'Table' ) return mySel; } alert( 'Error!\rWrong selection or nothing selected.' ); exit();
}
// some styling
function formatTable( tbl ) {
tbl.columns[1].cells.everyItem().texts[0].appliedCharacterStyle = 'italic';
}
